Loving Births Doula Services By Devan
About Me
Hello! I am Devan, I am a birth doula who has completed the DONA birth doula training! I have two wonderful children I love so much and a huge soft spot for all things Harry Potter! I am a military spouse and currently serve the Hampton Roads area in Virginia. I am very passionate about pregnancy and birth! I have been obsessed with all things pregnancy and birth related since I was 16 years old, and my stepmom was pregnant with my youngest sister. Birth is my passion, and I love supporting all families during the prenatal and postpartum periods. There is nothing more amazing than watching a family grow! I look forward to supporting your family during this wonderful time in your life! I offer support for almost all types of birth plans, even if you are being induced, scheduled a C-section, at a birth center, and home births! Everyone deserves support during such a big time in their lives and I am here to provide it!
